Any fish under here?? Big or small .. jus something to watch Or maybe the 33,600 odd strokes it should take me?

Tell us something about your preparations for the English Channel that you would not normally do for any other sporting event.

Where do you start? It’s quite opposite to the typical get fit training image – You have to eat lots, get fat, get cold, single sport, train in dirty water? Not the typical incentives I would look forward to in training!!

What do you like to eat during these long swims?

I’d usually stick to gels and water then crave the coke kick in last hour or so … But in cold water I’m thinking something warm … maybe porridge? Warm coke?

Will you be getting a tattoo after this swim to symbolise what you have achieved?

Ye I thought I’d go for the speedo bathers and goggle tatt that is complementary!

Hi Lisa, what a great website. Hope you’ve recovered..I have ..well just about.
It was nice to meet up with you guys at Varne Ridge. Evelyn has my contact details. drop me an e mail when you get time.
Cheers

About Us!

Channel Dare is a group of intrepid swimmers from Perth, Western Australia each training for the 40km English Channel swim in 2011. Raising money for Breast Cancer Care WA, each will undertake their solo swim in windows through July, August and September 2011.

Quick fact: Did you know, more people have climbed Everest than swum the English Channel? It's that tough! Strong currents, cold water, large waves and swell, the extreme distance and quite a bit of water-born 'pollution' make for an extremely tough challenge which only very strong swimmers are able to undertake.
